ARLISS

A Rocket Launch for International Student Satellites

Suborbital experiments of 350ml can sized satellites (CanSats) and rovers to train young engineers. CanSats/rovers are released from amateur rockets (launched by Aeropac) and it has to reach a designated point autonomously using ground or air-locomotion. UNISEC supports Japanese laboratories/organisations to design and develop CanSats and to participate in ARLISS launch opportunities.
